No self-righteous smugness, just shock.
As a Toronto resident.
Minneapolis is just shy of 500,000 people, Toronto is 3,000,000
So if you scaled that that number, Minneapolis 'modern low', would be 108 homicides which is notably higher than Toronto's worst year ever.
Which included a van attack that killed 10 or 11.
I find it hard to wrap my head around that, let alone a scale homicide total for the current year (49, x 6) would give you 295 homicides.
I honestly think you'd see the military called out if that happened here, and door to door searches for guns.
To realize there are other U.S. cities where the problems are that much worse......
